Quilled Sock Monkey

Carol Duvall hosted an arts and crafts show which aired on the HGTV cable channel from 1994 to 2005. It was also broadcast on the DIY Network from 2005 until late-2009. I don't think I missed one episode! A sock monkey puppet opened and closed each segment of the show and he was also seen from time to time during the show. Her guests and fans often gave her sock monkey themed gifts in the particular medium they used.

I quilled this 10" (25.4 cm) sock monkey face with the intention of framing and giving to Carol Duvall when I made it on her show. Even though my Provo Craft StandOuts™ quilled stickers were reviewed on one of her shows, I never was a guest. After 14 years I don't know what to do with it. So I decided to take a picture and show her to you before packing it up again.

Yep, sure looks just like a sock monkey to me - so cute! Carol is the best. I wish you'd had a chance to be one of her guests. I didn't know of Becky until I noticed your link to her blog a while ago and have been enjoying her posts from Korea.
